My Philosophy

Data is only data until analysis, logic and critical thinking are applied. When properly analyzed, your data becomes a useful solution management needs to make informed financial decisions.

Working With Me

To gain a full understanding of a client’s problems and create the most accurate solution, I perform all client engagements myself working from my office or the client’s site if needed.

You deserve expertise for custom data solutions.

As a former operations manager and Fortune 500 internal auditor, I understand how vital the proper data solutions are to an organization’s success. That is why I have spent my career helping many companies streamline data processes that generate timely, accurate reports .

You always have direct access to me.

When you hire an expert to help solve your financial problems, you want direct access to that professional. I work directly with you and your team during the entire engagement.

Your data stays secure.

By working directly with me, you do not need to be concerned about who has access to your data. I ensure every piece of information is secure.
